Gotta Love Them

Don’t get me wrong…I love my pets, but…….


We have a kitty that my son just brought home one day last year. She’s very pretty and most of the time very sweet. However, she hasn’t been spayed yet, and no matter how much I threaten my son that she’s going to go, he has done nothing….he knows me well. Anyway, she’s pretty much “in heat” every other week. At least I think that’s what her problem is. She seems to think my slippers are going to help her out somehow. Her mewling drives me insane!! I mean, I get it…she wants “some”, but really, give me a break. I can’t recall ever being like that when I was younger….well, maybe once, but at least I have a son to show for it….’nough said.


My other cat will be 13 on Valentine’s Day. She seems to have forgotten where the litter box is. But only for pooping. She has no problem finding it for peeing. As a matter of fact, she will pee in the box, jump out and poop right next to it. Really? I’m pretty sure I’ve never pooped on the floor, even though I am older than she is. So age is no excuse. How much more effort would it take to stay in the box to do her business?


I have a dog. He also will be 13 this year (in June), but he’s pretty much a perennial puppy, except when he wants to play old. The strangest part about him is he’s a Sheltie. Therefore, he is supposed to be part of the “herding” family of dogs. Well, I’ve never seen this animal chase down even a chipmunk. Not only that, but I think his brain is in backwards. He WILL herd humans, but only by walking backwards in front of them. He will also do this to the cats if I tell him to “go get the kitties”. He will get in their faces, bark and walk backward in front of them. Do they understand? No more than I do I guess because they just ignore him. The “old” part of him is his suddenly selective hearing. I can call to him and he will just pretend I’m not there, but if I whisper his name to “daddy”, he will come running to see what I’m talking about. Maybe that’s not such a dog thing, maybe it’s just a “guy” thing (sorry guys).

All in all, my pets take a sense of humor to live with, but they probably think the same thing about me. But I love them all to death and I sure hope they are grateful for that. LOL

OLA Has Talent!

OnlineAuction.com would like to share with you the talent of OLA Seller: "CountryNaturals"

Bio: Susan Molthop

For almost 2 years, I was the Writers' Exchange Guide for About.com. That was my first experience in building an online community. I reviewed hundreds of writing sites, started a newsletter, message board, email group, and published over 60 articles. My celebrity chats featured several famous authors, including Dr. David Reuben (Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex) and Susan Wittig Albert (the China Bayles Mystery series).

My printed articles have been published by Economics Press and Web bound. My novel, Hitting 50, is out of print, but may still be available online.

One of my current projects is Love Your Pet Expo. I designed the website and became marketing director, taking the site from somewhere off the radar to #1 on Google in 4 months. That was to be a short-term project, but the show was such a success, I am now their permanent webmaster.

On a personal level, I am a retired systems analyst, living on the Oregon coast with my husband of 47 years and a houseful of cats and dogs we've rescued.


Love Your Pet Expo Thrift Store

Love Your Pet Expo Thrift Store helps raise money to support our ever-growing family of rescue critters. Our merchandise comes from donations, craft projects, and special buys. Please help us help the animals. We are a 501c3 non-profit agency.

So Who's That Crazy Cat?

Misty and her toys
Misty and her toys

This is a photo of Misty, my niece's cat. Misty loves her striped washcloth, her very own cat-sized towel. She will carry it around the house as she sees fit, puts it down where she pleases and works it over as long as she is interested.

Her favorite place to touch and pet this washcloth with her soft de-clawed mitts is in the kitchen while stretched out on the striped rug. (Misty has an affinity for stripes.) She also loves the kitchen cabinet, which you can see along the bottom edge of the photograph. She touches the smooth wood frequently while mauling her cloth.

But her favorite toy is her woven blue sun-hat, a corner of which can be seen flattened beneath her. She loves to play with this hat and fiercely guards it from her brothers when they come too close to it. She will often move it because one or the other of them has discovered the hat's current hiding place. That's when Misty usually drags it to the kitchen to work it over.

I was lucky to get this shot of her, before she thought her privacy with her toys was about to be violated. I've never known a pet quite like Misty before, as all our cats were quite conventional. Have you known a pet with a similar neurotic streak? What kinds of quirks and tricks have your cats displayed?

Please share your cat stories below in the comment section and let's expose these furry sweethearts for what they are -- crazy cats! LOL Thanks for visiting!
